Development of Capacitive-Based Sensors for Packaging Applications

Abstract

Highly conductive, transparent and stretchable materials are essential for the development of stretchable electronics that can be integrated in different devices such as, textile, automotive, wearable devices, etc. Printed stretchable electronics on lightweight plastic based substrates have a great potential for unconventional electronics. Many impressive devices, such as paper like display, sensor skins, sheet scanners, etc. achieved notable success in state of the art literature. Stretchable electronics obtain a special attention for applications where the circuits could be wrapped around complex geometries. In this work we inkjet print stretchable conductive patterns that can wrapped around complex 3D geometry.
